Instead of speed and noise you get time to take in the landscape, feel the calm at sea and hear the story of the boat while your line is out. If it gets cold, there&#8217;s a heated saloon to warm up in.<\/p>\n<h2>The catch \u2013 served fresh on board<\/h2>\n<p>If we&#8217;re lucky with the catch, the fish is cooked on board and served fresh with butter and flatbread. Few things taste better than fish you caught yourself, eaten on deck with a view of Troms\u00f8 and the mountains.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Hermes-fishing-27-1536x864.jpg\" alt=\"Guest with a fresh catch of cod aboard Hermes II in Troms\u00f8\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>A good catch \u2013 often cod or saithe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Which trip suits you?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Want a full day at sea?<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hermes2.no\/en\/ekspedisjoner\/fishing-fjord-cruise-2\/\">Fishing &amp; Fjord Cruise<\/a> combines fishing with a calm fjord cruise \u2013 around 4.5 hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prefer the evening?<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hermes2.no\/en\/ekspedisjoner\/evening-fishing-cruise\/\">Evening Fishing Cruise<\/a> takes you out when the light is at its most beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Prefer the scenery without fishing?
